For Tim (or other Parisians)

[Nicklasss]

Can you remind me a good locations for buying wines in Paris? Good selection, not overly priced. I remember you named one here a few weeks ago.

Thanks.

A few that timmc recommended in the 6e - Dernier Goutte, Maison Millesime (I posted on it here a few weeks ago), and Ambassaode de Borgogne (not visited).

I found that the handful of Nicolas stores around the city were a touch rich on any of the wines I recognized from export markets.

Not sure why, but some things were much cheaper as a category (Champagne I thought) while others were more costly, like cru classe BDX.

Many thanks Arv. Maybe I mixed up, thinking Tim wrote some Paris retailer as he is our local representant, but it was you.

I'll send this info to a friend leaving for Paris tonight.

I'd gotten the info from Timmc though.

some stores :
- the biggest : Lavinia. enormous offer but sometimes high prices
- caves Augé : very traditional. Nice place
- Au Verger de la Madeleine : nice offer with some old wines of good value
- Nicolas Madeleine : they have a great offer of prestigious wines and all the offer of caves Nicolas

Sorry I was late.

In addition to the ones that Arv and Francois mentioned above, I would add Bossetti in the 4th arrondissement, a nice selection of Burgundy wines. Apart from that, depends on what you are looking for.

Cheers,

Tim
